So this week has seen me finally get to hockey game. Went to see the local team, the Mooseheads, against their local rivals, the Screaming Eagles. Mooseheads won, turns out they're one of the better teams in their league, and since the NHL isn't happening this year it's one of the better leagues. They managed to avoid fighting with each other, which upset some of the locals. It's fairly easy to follow really, makes it much easier that the rink is pretty small compared to a football/rugby pitch. They like to punctuate every little break with music, which then ends very abruptly when the game restarts. The stadium announcer was a fairly scary looking chap, it was the eyes, they gave you the sense of "I'd kill again." There are also lots of little bits from the players, one of whom I understood as well when he spoke Czech as English. Anyhow I feel I will be doing this again.

| How the world looked when I woke up |
Yesterday saw me compete for Dal for the first time, it went pretty well got a couple of PBs. The only downside to this was that I had to get up at 4 in the morning for the travel, we went to New Brunswick, the next province, it's about four and a half hours away. Fortunately some lovely people on the team offered to make all the rookies breakfast, so that made everything better. It also meant that I got to see some more of the country, or at least I would've had it not been so exceptionally foggy. So far as I can tell Nova Scotia is essenitially a giant area of fog with the occasional tree breaking through.
Otherwise what I have done it the past week remains largely unknown, presumably not much, but I'm fairly sleep deprived so perhaps loads happened, who knows.
